In May 2008 Jack celebrated his 65th Birthday and to celebrate this Esoteric Recordings are releasing a lavish 6 CD boxed set anthology entitled "Can You Follow?" on 23 June.

This lavish and ambitious set gathers together material drawn from all aspects of Jack’s career, beginning in 1962 with the earliest released recording of Jack performing as a member of Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated and continuing with recordings made with the Graham Bond Organisation (comprising Jack, Graham Bond, Ginger Baker and Dick Heckstall-Smith), John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Manfred Mann and then on to Cream (the band which brought Jack Bruce along with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker to world wide prominence), selling over 33 million albums in the process.

Following the demise of Cream in November 1968 Jack embarked on a distinguished career as a solo artist, recording fifteen albums in his own right, all of immense creativity and diversity. Beginning with the classic album "Songs for a Tailor", the "Can You Follow?" boxed set encompasses material from all these solo albums and also adds selected material from other projects including those with Tony Williams’ Lifetime, West, Bruce and Laing, Frank Zappa, Rocket 88 (with Charlie Watts and Alexis Korner), Robin Trower and BBM (with Gary Moore and Ginger Baker). Importantly, the set emphasises Jack’s enormous talent as a song writer and composer.

As one of popular music’s most respected innovators, Jack Bruce is in a class of his own. "Can You Follow?" celebrates his enduring talent and musical legacy.

JACK BRUCE: "Can You Follow?"

A 6CD deluxe anthology featuring selections from Jack’s work with Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated, the Graham Bond Quartet, Duffy Power, The Graham Bond Organisation, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Manfred Mann, Cream, Tony Williams’ Lifetime, West, Bruce & Laing, Frank Zappa, Rocket 88, Robin Trower, BBM along with selections from his fifteen solo albums. Includes a lavishly illustrated 68 page book documenting Jack’s career with his own exclusive personal comments and previously unseen photographs. A 110 track selection, including 29 never before released on CD in the UK.
